I don't get it

I remember installing it at some point and it didn't take me long to uninstall, but I don't remember the reason. I'll install it again here to check.

Mint is often the most recommended distro, because whatever you may need to do in it, it tends to be easy-ish to figure out.

But these days I would strongly recommend in favor of some immutable distro like Bluefin/Aurora or Silverblue/kinoite. Instead of being easy to figure out how to do things on them, they make it so you won't need to, ever.

It's a complete paradigm shift and it might not be for everyone, but in the decades I've been using Linux for, I had never had such a smooth experience with any distro. Everything just works and you don't need to think about the OS anymore.

However it won't easily fit with some of the requirements you listed.

Nice! Earlier this year I skipped on a game I had been wanting for a long time, and I skipped it because of Denuvo. I might as well buy this one just to support the removal this time.

Eh, any game can pick up the good parts of the nemesis system and change it just enough to not be a 100% match of the patent and they'll probably never be sued for it.

It's a much bigger problem when you speak multiple languages and leave them all enabled in the keyboard. When writing a simple comment like this, I fuck up the typing of one out of every 5-10 words on average and auto correct fixes them for me. In some other contexts like replying to a work message, it is auto correct who fucks up that often.

Both the country and the bird are spelled Peru, no ú in either.

In theory, yes. In practice, dealing with games is not so straightforward. Even the steam deck's "suspend" is still far behind the Nintendo switch's. In some games (older stuff, usually) the games don't get paused at all, or it pauses the image but keeps the sound playing, or even sometimes appears to work properly, but then drains your battery just as fast as it you were playing - suggesting it is still processing the whole game in the dark.

Are their printers bad? I haven't even tried any in decades because their business practices are so awful, but I always thought that at the very least the printers themselves should be good.

Sadly, Brother's printers might be going on the same direction now.

If the competition make some good portables, Valve will probably leave the hardware to them and focus only on the software.

One day, out of the blue, I thought: "I should follow that guy who created Javascript". A few weeks go by and soon I'm wondering "why the hell are there so many antivax posts on my timeline?"

Was quite a surprise seeing that he was all in on the antivax stuff. I then unfollowed him and haven't used any of his products since.

What's a dryer sheet? I don't think I've heard of it before.

 

Just because the best thing might have been easy to answer, I want you all to think a little more to recall what was the second best thing that happened to you this year.

 

Anything exciting going on in your field of work this year? Or breakthroughs in science, new technologies developed, things like that.

Some news that would be completely mundane today but scary or shocking in the past.

 

Tava querendo comprar uma pra não precisar mais ficar correndo em gráfica sempre que preciso assinar algum documento, mas pqp é tudo apenas 110v. E a informação ainda fica bem escondida pra maioria delas.

Eu tava comparando uns 4 modelos pensando em qual comprar quando por acaso vi um comentário em um deles falando sobre ser 110v, aí fui conferir e todas eram. To tão acostumado com tudo ser bivolt hoje em dia que se não fosse o comentário eu nem teria conferido.
